Disappearing airports?
I noticed that some of the airports I visit have had their identifiers changed recently.
For example, 3M3 became KFGU and 3BS became KIKW.
Nowhere have I seen any kind of notification of the change. The way I have found out about the new identifiers is when I?m doing my flight planning and the old identifiers no longer work.
What is going on?

They probably just got an AWOS.
Go to Airnav and check their NOTAMS:
!LAN 08/370 IKW SVC AWOS 119.525/989-835-5841 CMSND
Collegedale must be a slightly older installation

4SD recently became RTS. I presumed it was because we got an instrument approach since that happened about the same time.

Well, now you can sit and say "in the old days, when the Air Races were at 4SD...." (unless you're REALLY old and can say "when they were at Cleveland"  )

It is part of the U.S. compliance with ICAO that all airports eventually comply with the KXXX format.

Long Ago I decided it was a scheme
Long Ago I decided it was a scheme to force me to buy GPS data base updates.

Happily, my 90 day "free" update card worked .......considerably past that date. It did add some additional Jeppeson airport layouts to the data-base, that were just runways with lines, before. |

Couldn't it be K3M3?

Ahhh....memories!
The field where I spent many years with my Grumman (KSPX) didn't just lose it's name, it lost the fight altogether, and is now a housing development. The field where my RV-8 grew up used to be T00, and changed to KLVJ a number of years ago.
Now if you REALLY want to lose some valuable building/flying time, take a look at this web site that really does address "disappearing" - or "disappeared" airfields. Brings back all sort so "you know, I could have sworn there was an airport there when I was a kid...." kind of moments.
